One of the brighter kids I had the pleasure of teaching at art school was Marlon, who was in transition and wrote a book about his previous life. Not only was he bright, he also was very sad to hear that I would not agree on this book being his examination work for art school. Then he made a smart move: he ‘directed’ a movie for which he asked al kinds of people, mostly criticasters to show how the work is done and made it one of his examination stunts to present a very long lasting movie about his life, seen through other people’s eyes. It was a bit of a stunt, and I think it was more ‘producing’ than ‘directing’ but conceptually i thought it was a strong idea.

So I had to make this in a few hours: choosing one of the chapters from his book and turn it into a visual. Smart ass. i hope they are doing great, out there.

Oh I wrote the music too – played by the Spinshots.

Lucy the Homemade Maid was supposed to be a series of ultrashort little adventures of the ‘Frankenstein-like’ French maid. Also, I made a script for a 10 minute short but i never found the time to really make this. This is a test in After Effects.
